As a kid, Raphael was a homophobic bully. Now, at age 23, he's grown out of the bully act. His homophobia? Still there, but it doesn't show often―after all, there are no gay people around him. Just his mom, ex-girlfriend, and daughter, Mia. Or so he thinks, until a phone call one morning comes with news that puts him face-to-face with his prejudice. 

But shaking prejudice is hard when your ashamed family, some hungry reporters, and a stubborn gay activist are breathing down your neck. Changing is hard, especially when you've buried skeletons.All Rights Reserved

He doesn't have superpowers--at least, that's what everyone tells him. When an old acquaintance unexpectedly invites Riley to join a fraternity with three other guys, he expects a little chaos. What he doesn't expect is to witness a superhero emerging for the first time in Astral City, nor does he expect to have to take matters into his own hands.
